Humanity is obviously defined by an ability to think in abstract ways. For example, people are unique in the world for their ability to create and appreciate art. And while there's a few minor exceptions, for the most part humanity is also alone in possessed the ability to create works of technological expression as well. These two aspects of humanity, art and technology, are often thought of as rather distinct from each other. This isn't always the case though. On the surface of things it's an understandable mistake to make. The two might not seem to have much in common. But in reality there's a strong connection between these two uniquely human forms of expression. One will almost always be the fuel that powers the other. A good example of this can be found with Custom optics.

A new view of art thanks to technology

Custom optical systems are just what the name suggests. They're high quality powerful lenses which can allow people the chance to gaze into otherwise invisible areas. The most apparent way in which they intersect with art is through something known as IR photography. Photographers put in an order for a custom IR lens which is designed to fit their needs. This lens makes the infrared spectrum of light visible to a camera. By using it, photographers are able to get a very different but still quite valid view of the world. This is one of the all time greatest examples of technology and art coming together as a whole. What's even more amazing is how easy it is to get started these days. All it takes is the desire and willingness to quickly few out a few specifics for the lens system when placing an order.
